"Fall is here, and so I'm wishing a wonderful Spooky Season and/or Prime Pumpkin Spice Latte Time to all who celebrate. It's time for sweaters, scary movies, pumpkin carving and, yes, beer drinking. I used to hate fall because it meant the school year was beginning, but now I love it for the autumnal colors, cozy sweaters, walks in the woods, and visiting as many idyllic New England towns as I can."
"The resulting beer tastes slightly sweet, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and, naturally, bourbon. It's bottled in 750ml bottles, which are great for sharing with a couple people, but you can always buy four- or six-packs of 12-ounce bottles. With an ABV of 10.2%, you might expect it to be a little harsh, but it's smooth as can be. The mild sweetness always makes me want to pair it with dessert"
Cool autumn weather favors malty, caramel-forward, and spiced beers over the crisp, refreshing styles preferred in summer. Pumpkin-style ales satisfy seasonal spice cravings, with Shipyard's Pumpkinhead Ale noted as an honorable mention. Allagash Curieux is a flagship fall option brewed by a Maine brewery; the brewery ages its Tripel, a Belgian-style golden ale, in bourbon barrels for just under two months. The barrel aging yields slight sweetness and flavors of vanilla, caramel, and bourbon. Curieux is available in 750ml bottles and 12-ounce packs. At 10.2% ABV it remains surprisingly smooth and pairs well with dessert.
